Very smooth dark chocolate with added texture from the cocoa nibs, and a contrasting saltiness to the fruit overtones you would normally expect of cocoa from Madagascar.

Manufacturer: Oceanic
Product Code: 04-3820-16
The Oceanic VEO 3.0 continues Oceanic's tradition of designing rugged, feature-rich personal dive computers that are intuitively easy to use and reasonably priced. Featuring Oceanics exclusive Dual Algorithm, 2-Nitrox Mix Compatibility, Audible Alarms, 3-Button Interface with settings "Step Back", and so much more. All in a strong, lightweight "hockey-puck" module for your wrist or console.
Oceanic's new Veo offers Dual Algorithm™ technology, letting you choose the decompression algorithm that best suits your diving needs without compromising safety.
Choose Pelagic DSAT for:Liberal Recreational Diving The Pelagic DSAT Algorithm safely maximizes dive time for repetitive, multi-level recreational diving. This algorithm relies on the human Doppler studies used to develop PADI's Recreational Dive Planner (RDP), and has been the basis of Oceanic's and other manufacturer's computer algorithms for many years.
To add additional conservatism, you can also adjust the:
Choose Pelagic Z+ for:Conservative Recreational Diving When applied to standard recreational diving, the Pelagic Z+ Algorithm basis increases the conservative factor of the Veo by 15-20%.
Liberal Repetitive Deep and Decompression DivingThe Pelagic Z+ uses the Buhlmann ZHL-16C database, which was conducted to meet the more rigorous demands of repetitive, cold-water decompression diving at altitude. The Pelagic Z+ mode maximizes dive times at depth without penalties.
Dive in sync with any buddy, anywhereBecause the Veo allows you to adjust the algorithm basis and its conservatism, you can adjust to closely match just about any other dive computer on the market, allowing you and any buddy to always dive in sync. Diving the same profile increases safety for both divers, and eliminates the need for one person to conduct a much longer or deeper stop when buddying with someone wearing a more liberal dive computer. On repetitive dives, there is no more waiting for the more conservative dive computer to clear. Both buddies will be ready to enter the water at the same time and can continue to dive the same profiles. You can't control which dive computer your buddy wears, but you can control your ability to dive the same profile.
A note about deep stops:Both algorithms allow (user ON/OFF option) credit for deep stops for No-Decompression dives in keeping with the data of Morroni et al (2004) and Bennett et al (2007). No penalty is given if the diver skips the deep stop, but it is strongly recommended that a shallow safety stop be made with or without the deep stop in keeping with the experiments of Pilmanis (1975).
It is important to note that neither algorithm provides deep stops for decompression dives since there is ample experimental data [Blatteau et al (2005), Gerth et al (2007), and Gutvik et al (2007)] that indicate that this practice often produces an increase in the risk of DCS.

How to Invest in WTI
WTI Crude Oil is the benchmark for oil prices in the United States, the world\'s top consumer of oil. WTI crude is a sweet crude oil that is more sweet than its European counterpart Brent and a result, generally trades at a premium. Due to this lower sulfur content, WTI is often processed into gasoline on the American east coast and is then piped across the country for consumption.
Crude oil is used in a variety of products that are crucial to everyday modern life. However, \'crude\' oil is unprocessed and generally comes right out of the ground/ocean and has minimal uses until it is processed into a finished product such as gasoline.
Investors looking to invest directly in WTI crude have a limited number of options. While there are heavily traded futures contracts available for the product there are currently no pure play stocks or equity ETFs that invest in companies that exclusively produce WTI crude and do not then refine it themselves into finished products. With that being said, smaller U.S. oil firms that aren\'t integrated may offer direct exposure to the price of WTI crude although they are likely to be very volatile when compared to the overall energy industry. There are, however, a number of ETP products that offer exposure to the commodity\'s futures contracts either in a basket or pure-play form.
Ways to Invest in WTI
There are 3 ways to invest in WTI: ETFs, Futures, and Stocks. Click on the tabs below to learn more about each alternative.
What are WTI ETFs?
There are a number of ETFs offering exposure to light sweet crude oil, also known as West Texas Intermediate (WTI). The most popular is the United States Oil Fund (USO), which invests primarily in front month contracts. As such, USO will maintain a high sensitivity to spot prices but may be subject to adverse impact of contango over the long term.
Oil ETFs are primarily distinguished by the types of futures contracts held. The United States 12 Month Oil Fund (USL) spreads exposure evenly across 12 separate futures contracts, minimizing the impact of the roll yield on returns. Teucrium\'s Crude Oil Fund (CRUD) spreads exposure across three unique maturities, a strategy that was designed to more closely replicate movements in spot prices. PowerShares offers an oil ETF (DBO) that may change its roll process depending on current market situations; the methodology is designed to minimize the impact of contango and maximize and positive effects of backwardation.
There are also several ETFs that focus on equities of companies engaged in the production of crude oil. The most popular choice, the Energy SPDR (XLE) includes exposure to mega cap companies such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron. The iShares S&P Global Energy Sector Fund (IXC) delivers more global exposure, investing in international companies as well as domestic energy producers. Another interesting option is the Global X Oil Equities ETF; that fund offers exposure to companies whose stock prices have exhibited a strong correlation with spot oil historically.
What are WTI Futures?
WTI futures are the world\'s most actively traded energy product. WTI futures and options trade on the NYMEX, and contracts for several months often exhibit significant liquidity. Futures contracts, traded under the symbol CL, represent 1,000 barrels of oil for delivery at any pipeline or storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma with pipeline access to TEPPCO, Cushing storage or Equilon Pipeline Company LLC Cushing storage. WTI underlying futures contracts must meet certain minimum grade and quality standards.
WTI contracts are listed nine years forward using the following listing schedule: consecutive months are listed for the current year and the next five years; in addition, the June and December contract months are listed beyond the sixth year. Additional months will be added on an annual basis after the December contract expires, so that an additional June and December contract would be added nine years forward, and the consecutive months in the sixth calendar year will be filled in.
How to Buy WTI Stocks
For investors seeking exposure to crude oil but looking to avoid investing in futures contracts, the stocks of oil producing companies may present an interesting opportunity to establish indirect exposure. Because the profitability of oil companies tends to move along with changes in the spot price of oil, these securities often serve as effective trades on the related commodity.
There are dozens of options for investing in oil producing companies. Many of the oil giants are household names, including ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and ConocoPhillips (COP). There are also international equity options, such as BR, Total, and PetroChina. For more complete lists of oil stocks that can offer exposure to WTI, consider taking a look at the holdings of any of the following ETFs:
- Large Cap U.S.: Energy SPDR
- Small Cap U.S.: PowerShares S&P Small Cap Energy Portfolio
- Global: iShares S&P Global Energy Sector Index Fund
- Emerging Markets: Emerging Markets Energy ETF

Giggles, guffaws, and gasps.
That's what Seriously Bent elicited during a routine that captured the 2012 College Improv Tournament New England Regional championship.
Now the Suffolk University student improv troupe is headed to Chicago for another grab at the gold. The 11-member team will compete in the National College Improv Tournament, where a previous team placed second in the 2009.
"We're now one step closer to winning the whole thing, which would be like a dream come true," said troupe member Amanda Sousa.
In preparing for the regionals, Seriously Bent coach Anthony Passafiume, looking for something special to capture the judges' attention, introduced a new concept to the student comedians.
They started working on it just five days before stepping on stage with everything on the line.
"I knew they would get it because this is a talented group," said Passafiume, a Seriously Bent alumnus who graduated from the University in 2007. "We rehearsed it on Tuesday, nailed it by Thursday."
The new setup has two students sitting on stage as though watching television while their peers act out a montage of scenes based on show titles provided by the audience.
The TV watchers can pause, change the station, have the actors perform a scene in Spanish, or make other demands that will complicate the scene.
"The concept worked because we tied in the last scene with the first scene," said Passafiume. "We came full circle with this new structure, and that went over very well with the judges."
"What I've learned from this experience is that is takes an entire group of people working together to come to become successful," said Souza.
Seriously Bent, which operates under the banner of the Performing Arts Office, took on teams from Harvard University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Middlebury College and Northeastern University in the regional competition held at the Cambridge YMCA Theatre.
The Suffolk troupe was presented with an Award of Recognition for its longstanding support of the tournament and its efforts in uniting the Boston college improv community through joint shows and shared performances.
"It's extremely rewarding to be part of a team that was so motivated to succeed," said Eric Bukowiec, who, with Joseph Talluto, is co-captain of the troupe. "From start to finish, we were on top of our game."
Seriously Bent cast members are seniors Ethan Bukowiec and Joseph Talluto; juniors Tobias Foglia, Andrew King, and Amanda Sousa; sophomores Zachary Barker, Stephania Kay, John MacGregor and Tatijana von Rosen, and freshman Erin Farrington. Senior Andy Cataluna manages the troupe.
The National College Improv Tournament takes place in Chicago, the birthplace of improv comedy, on March 23, 2013.


text: Tweeting To Grow January 7, 2014 06:52 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Top Producer Editors Email Twitter serves as a coffee shop but isn't restricted by geography Jeff VanderWerff's story is similar to that of other 30-something farmers. Two years ago, the Sparta, Mich., native left a career in ag retail and returned to his fourth-generation family farm. At the same time, he noticed a disconnect between farmers and consumers and felt passionate about trying to change it through social media. "As a grain producer, Twitter is a great way to explain to people where they can find my products in stores," VanderWerff says. "We raise wheat, which goes to a local flour mill and then is distributed to local bakeries. I can pick up a loaf of bread in a store and tweet that I grew the wheat to make that bread." People from all walks of life use social media to connect with an audience in a more personal way. "Twitter gives brands a chance to first listen to what people are saying not only to or about their products, but competitors' as well," says Inga Rundquist, public relations specialist with MindFire Communications. "It's also a chance to get into the conversation and give your brand a human presence." Typically, people who have a relationship with a business or a brand do more business with them because of brand loyalty, Rundquist points out. She also recommends using Twitter as a way to monitor an industry and get a pulse of what's going on in the business. "Once you create your Twitter profile, find people within your industry," she says. "Twitter has a good search engine. You can look at a competitor's profile and follow their followers to grow your list organically." For the purpose of marketing, Rundquist says to establish goals for your Twitter or social media use. Define what you want to achieve through social media. It might be to increase awareness, improve customer service, better understand consumer perception or learn more about your industry. "A good goal for someone starting out would be three to five tweets per day with a mix of something about your business, something that has your attention in the industry or something that adds value to people following you," Rundquist suggests. Connections Pay. VanderWerff believes Twitter has been instrumental in advancing his business. He closely follows about 150 farmers and ag business people. "It's helped me develop a peer group, share information and get advice from someone other than my next door neighbor," he explains. VanderWerff says his dad never saw Twitter's value until he could predict grain markets and yields. "People would talk about things three days before it would happen," he says. "Farming is a solitary business. Twitter is my generation's coffee shop. I won't go to the coffee shop for two hours, but I'm sure to sit in my truck for 10 minutes and catch up with friends on Twitter and see what everyone is doing." A Michigan farmer (@agsalesman)connects to farmers and consumers 38% of his followers are ag-related 1,386 people he follows 2.7 his average number of tweets per day 2,149 people follow VanderWerff Back to news

I recently met with an EMR company that described an interesting situation where a clinic was confronted with being sold the following different EMR systems:
- Current PMS EMR
- Current Lab's EMR
- Current Transcription Company's EMR
- Current Billing Company's EMR
- Current IT Vendor offered an EMR as well
Many of you might remember when I talked about the benefit that a lab company would have in selling their EMR to their current lab users. I still think this is a tremendous advantage, but looking at the above list of EMR companies that are connected with this one clinic it makes you stop and think.
Yes, each of the above "EMR" companies likely feels like they have an "in" with the clinic that will help them sell their EMR. Unfortunately, with so many companies "in" with the clinic, I have a feeling this mostly just causes confusion and angst for a clinic. Plus, none of the above companies were any of the "jabba the hutt" EMR companies that you can be certain are banging on the clinic's door as well.
Is it any wonder why so many doctors are sitting on the sidelines with all this confusion?
This list also provides an interesting commentary on the popular saying that doctors are so reticent to use technology (or substitute EMR if you prefer). Yet, their PMS is electronic. Their labs are received electronically. Their transcription is sent and received electronically. Their billing company receives and submits claims electronically. Wait, I wonder why they have an IT vendor that supports them? Makes you think a little, doesn't it?

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill are set to reunite for a follow-up to their hit cop comedy 21 Jump Street.
The actors brought the popular 1980s TV series back to life on the big screen last year (12) as they portrayed police officers who are sent back to school posing as students.
The movie proved to be a big hit with cinema-goers, grossing more than $201 million worldwide upon its release, and now studio bosses at Sony Pictures Entertainment are gearing up for a second installment.
Screenwriter Michael Bacall has already begun working on the sequel, although it is not yet known whether Phil Lord and Chris Miller will return to direct.
A release date has tentatively been set for 2014.

Washington, DC, January 12, 2011 – Every New Year, millions of Americans resolve to improve their lives. Unfortunately, many of these New Year's resolutions will fall by the wayside and by mid-month, they will have been forgotten. For those vowing to get their finances in order, Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, Consumer Advocate for Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc., has a solution for making sure financial to-do lists get done in 2011: start over and keep it simple.
"The key to keeping financial New Year's resolutions is to apply the principle of 'little and often,'" said Blayney. "Grandiose goals need to be whittled down into goals with specific, actionable steps, and there must be a commitment to updating these new goals frequently."
According to Blayney, the usual financial resolutions can be given new life as smaller, and more attainable "Re-Solutions" for 2011. For example:
"Financial resolutions are meant to be kept, and not necessarily checked off and discarded," Blayney said. "If people see them as guiding principles rather than discrete accomplishments, they become more than a one-off goal, but a prudent way of life. And that is something we all should resolve to do."

SALT LAKE CITY | Al Jefferson had trouble sitting down and putting on his socks. He needed a trainer to help with his shoes and shirt.
SALT LAKE CITY | Al Jefferson had trouble sitting down and putting on his socks. He needed a trainer to help with his shoes and shirt.
But the Utah Jazz big man could still crack jokes through the pain of back spasms after scoring a season-high 31 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in an 87-81 victory Wednesday night over the Orlando Magic.
"That's the reason I bought the $25,000 bed," Jefferson said of the 10-foot wide, 12-foot long custom job he ordered this summer after he experienced similar back pain. "It was worth every dime. That's why I can't wait to get home and get in it right now."
Whatever works for Big Al.
Just about everything did Wednesday night until he corralled his final rebound with 1:29 remaining and the Jazz leading 85-81. Jefferson grabbed at his back under the basket, took a few steps, then hit the floor in obvious pain and finally had to be helped off.
"I'm glad he didn't crumble 2-3 minutes earlier or we would have been in trouble," teammate Randy Foye said.
Jefferson had just eight points at halftime but scored 17 in the third quarter and was the difference down the stretch as the Jazz held off a furious Orlando comeback attempt.
Orlando trailed by 14 in the first half and by 11 entering the fourth but took a 79-78 lead on Glen Davis' powerful jam. Foye's 3-pointer and back-to-back jumpers by Jefferson right before his injury sealed the win for Utah.
"That's why I get paid the big bucks," Jefferson said. "They expect me to go out there and lead the team, nothing less."
Magic coach Jacque Vaughn had plenty of praise for Jefferson.
"Al stays within himself," said Vaughn, who spent the first four years of his playing career in a Jazz uniform. "He knows his game and he makes jump shots, which makes his post game even more difficult to guard. ... When you get a guy like him rolling, he is tough to stop."
Davis led Orlando with 18 points. Jameer Nelson had 17 and Arron Afflalo added 16.
Paul Millsap scored 22 points for Utah, including 16 in the first half when the Jazz led by as many as 14.
The Magic managed only 15 points in the first quarter and 34 in the first half, but fought back behind Davis.
His three-point play pulled Orlando to 76-72 with 5:41 remaining and J.J. Redick's three-point play off a driving layup with 4:20 left had the Magic within 78-77. Davis' powerful dunk over two defenders gave Orlando a 79-78 lead with 3:33 left.
Foye, who started 0 for 6, countered with a 3-pointer to put the Jazz back on top 81-79 with 3:11 remaining. Jefferson then hit back-to-back jumpers to seal the win, finishing 13 of 20 from the field with two assists and a steal.
"I felt bad, missing all those shots when I had clear looks," Foye said. "(The last one) made up for it."
Orlando fought back in the third behind Redick, pulling to 56-53. But Utah closed the quarter on a 12-4 run to lead 68-57, with Jazz reserves providing the spark defensively. DeMarre Carroll had a pair of steals and helped force a backcourt violation. Jefferson was Utah's offense with a 17-point quarter on 6-of-9 shooting
"Tonight the shots were falling and, of course, we didn't want to (lose) four games in a row," Jefferson said. "No disrespect to Orlando, but they're the type of team you can attack on the inside."
Utah held a 30-14 edge on points in the paint in the first half while holding the Magic to 36 percent shooting and forcing a dozen turnovers in stopping Orlando's winning streak at two.
"We did a great job of sharing the basketball tonight," Millsap said when asked about not losing another heartbreaker after building a big lead. "That was the key. ... We're a little banged up and that's what makes this game even more amazing."
Jefferson, despite difficulty dressing himself, vowed to be ready to go Friday night against Toronto.
Of course he had some medicine in hand, and the huge bed awaiting, explaining that it cost an extra $10,000 to have it done quickly rather than six to eight weeks.
"I don't miss games," Jefferson said. "I'll be ready to play unless I just can't walk."
NOTES: Clippers guard Chauncey Billups received a warning from the NBA on Wednesday about flopping for a call late in Monday's game against the Jazz when he kicked out his feet on a 3-pointer and drew a foul from Mo Williams. Billups sank two of three free throws with 1:14 left in an eventual one-point Jazz loss. "It does us a lot of good now, the game's over," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "I thought we might have been right; we were right." ... Vaughn was drafted in the first round (No. 27) by the Jazz in 1997 and played in 224 games for Utah. ... Jazz shot-blocking specialist Derrick Favors missed his third straight game because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. ... Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward went 0 for 6. ... Jazz F Marvin Williams returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous three games with concussion-like symptoms. He finished with eight points.

Kcal 125 Fat 6.2g Carbs 16.2g (per 22.5g finger)
I have no idea where he is getting these products from but ChocolateMission reader Alan has managed to pluck another bar seemingly out of nowhere and was kind enough to send along this limited edition Twix. Old skool (yes I am cool enough to spell that with a k!) may remember my review of the limited edition Twix Java that was released in America which I tried way back in the day when this very site was first being set up. The Twix Java incorporated the heavenly formula of coffee flavoured caramel and a cookie base, coated with milk chocolate - it was superb and I wish they would bring it back. Well today thanks to that kind chap Alan I got to try this bar produced by Mars Polska (Poland) - the Twix Cappuccino.
This bar came in a standard Twix size with two 22.5 finger pieces that I ate over the course of one sitting. Personally I thought the packaging looked superb, and was pleased to see that this limited edition used the same foil material that can be seen across the rest of the range. The mixture of gold and silver colours made a vibrant appearance, whilst the on pack design was well structured and clear. As you can see in the photo above the fingers looked very appetising with the caramel a darker orangey colour than normal - it looked both distinctive and enticing. As well as looking the part the foil wrapper also managed to maintain a great degree of freshness to the product - it not only looked unblemished looks wise, but it also had a pleasant chocolaty, coffee aroma that didn't fail to whet my appetite further.
Although I couldn't read the packaging (Polish!) I was expecting the biscuit section of this bar to be made up by a shortbread biscuit just like our standard UK Twix, but upon closer it looked slightly darker. When it came to the taste it was obvious this was the case because the biscuit had a slightly touch of cocoa which I think gave it a slightly more interesting flavour than it would have done had it just been the plain shortbread. In regards to the outer chocolate I didn't any differences whatsoever between the UK chocolate and the Polish stuff. Both I would describe as nicely paced in melt and with a smooth, milky taste that substantiates a fair tasting chocolaty context with each bite. As with all Twix bars the main focus of the taste obviously came through the caramel and once again it was well executed in this bar. In comparison to the Java this Cappuccino bar was a little more relaxed in its coffee flavours and had a creamier chocolaty taste. What made this bar so delicious was the way the sweet flavours of the chocolate combined with the richer, bolder influences of the coffee which all culminated in a subtle lick of salt from the caramel ... in a word 'Yum'! Both fingers provided a satisfying and fulfilling experience though I could easily have seen myself reaching for yet another finger if it were possible.
Overall I have to take my hat off to Mars here for producing yet another fine Limited Edition in the form of this Cappuccino bar. Personally given the choice I still think I would choose the Twix Java over this bar as I enjoyed the stronger coffee flavours of the Java. That is just my personal preference though and I can definitely see many people preferring this bar over the Java as I guess the majority of people like their coffee a little more subtle and creamier in taste. What I find so satisfying about bars like this and the Java is that they do exactly what they say on the wrapper i.e. this one actually does taste of Cappuccino! Although I have rated this bar slightly lower than the Java I would strongly suggest you give it a try if you like your standard Twix. This is one I would most certainly have again.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The decision would have been second-guessed until the end of time. Maybe South Carolina's Steve Spurrier knew the potential scrutiny that awaited. Maybe it persuaded Spurrier to play it safe.
Facing fourth-and-2 from his team's 30-yard line with just less than three minutes left, clinging to a one-point lead at Tennessee, the Head Ball Coach thought about risking it all.
"My mindset was, 'Let's go for it. Let's get it,' " sophomore running back Mike Davis said.
Instead, Spurrier went against his legendary gut. South Carolina punted, giving Tennessee its third chance to drive for a game-winning field goal inside the final eight minutes. Finally, the Volunteers took advantage.
Tennessee kicker Michael Palardy booted a 19-yard field goal with three seconds left, handing No. 11 South Carolina a devastating 23-21 loss on the game's final play. Tennessee (4-3, 1-2 SEC East) desperately wanted a signature win in its first season under new coach Butch Jones. At the end of a 10-play drive that lasted 2:48, the relief spilled into celebration.
Tennessee players rushed the field, a sea of orange spilling from the home team's sideline as the crowd of 95,736 offered their approval.
"Mike and I were in line at dinner (Friday) night, and I looked at him because he told me he was going to have the game winner at Georgia," the Volunteers' Jones said. "I looked at him this time and said, 'You've got the game winner tomorrow, right?' He looked at me and said, 'I got you, Coach.' He's performing exceptionally well for us."
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Gamecocks (5-2, 3-2 SEC East), and a three-game winning streak against Tennessee. With a win, they could have taken advantage of losses by Florida and Georgia on Saturday.
Spurrier was denied his 15th win against Tennessee, the team he grew up cheering. A win would've given him a winning record at Neyland Stadium.
Instead, the HBC only had regret.
Spurrier was forced to burn two timeouts after Tennessee gave a different defensive look than he expected. With how the Vols' defense lined up, the play called on the sideline wouldn't have worked. Rather than gamble, USC punted.
"Looking back, I always tell myself to go for those," Spurrier said. "You always look stupid if you leave them on the 30-yard line, but our defense was playing well."
The Gamecocks' defense had already stared down two short fields in the fourth quarter, dominating the Vols' offense on the two series before their game-winning drive. Spurrier said his confidence in the defense played into the decision to punt. He didn't expect what happened next.
Tennessee began its drive at the 35-yard line. Early on, the possession didn't look promising. The Vols faced third-and-10 when quarterback Justin Worley sent up a jump ball with the pocket collapsing. His prayer was answered with freshman receiver Marquez North's 39-yard reception, putting the Vols in field-goal range.
"He closed his eyes," defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said of Worley. "I was looking at him in his face. It was just a great throw and catch."
Tennessee led 17-7 at halftime, its largest lead at intermission against a ranked opponent since Oct. 31, 2009. The Vols beat USC that night as well. It looked like the Gamecocks would avoid the upset this time.
USC took a 21-17 lead on quarterback Connor Shaw's 1-yard touchdown run with 2:50 left in the third quarter. Shaw had perhaps his worst day as a passer this season, but he finished with 78 rushing yards on 18 carries. He did not return from a knee injury late in the fourth quarter.
The injury's severity was not immediately known after the game.
"The trainer called it a sprained knee," Spurrier said. "I think he sort of got tackled on it, and it collapsed under him a little bit, he said. How serious, they'll have to wait and evaluate. So, they're calling it a sprained knee right now."
USC had success running the football, finishing with 218 rushing yards on 42 carries (5.2 yards per carry). Davis had another stellar game, finishing with 137 yards on 21 carries including a 21-yard touchdown run. It was Davis' 10th touchdown of the season. He's had at least one touchdown in each of USC's seven games, and it was his sixth 100-yard game this season.
But, needing two more yards, Davis didn't get a chance.
"We called the second (timeout), and we ended up punting, and I'm just like, 'Hey, what's going on?' " Davis said. "… Like I said, whatever the coaches call, I'm all for it. But, if it's fourth-and-2 and the coaches want to punt it, then that's what we have to go for."

Sept. 28, 2001
by Erin Chambers, Assistant Sports Editor
Men's soccer has one of the best recruiting classes in the nation going into the 2001-02 season. Two Under 18 National Team Players head the class of five freshmen, all of whom are expected to have an immediate impact on the program. Both Ryan Cochrane and Steve Cronin were members of the National Team, and Cochrane was the only player to start in all 19 matches of the 2000 season. Both men were recipients of All-American honors from Parade Magazine, while Cronin was selected National Player of the Year and Cochrane was selected National Defender of the year. The accolades continue as Cronin earned Sports Illustrated Magazine's Old Spice Athlete of the Month honors in October 2000, and Cochrane was named Gatorade Player of Year in his home state of Oregon.
In addition to the two National Team members, freshmen Jason Pan, Eric Irvine and Devin Skrade also join the 2001-02 Bronco men's soccer team. Aside from earning All-State, All-Conference, and All-Area honors in Milwaukee during his senior year at Wauwatosa East High School, Pan also earned All-Midwest Region honors from the NSCAA. Skrade, also from Milwaukee, boasts three all-conference performances and an all-state selection during his senior year at Pious XI High School. This duo from the Midwest teamed up on the Milwaukee Kickers Club Team as well, winning three state championships. Irvine, a graduate of La Canada High School in Irvine, Calif. stands out for the impressive 26 goals and 14 assists he had on the 2000 season. He led his team to a 22-1 and earned first-team CIF honors.
Women's cross-country also gained some young talent this season. Freshmen Robin Bell of Gonzaga Prep has proved to be a huge asset to the team early in the season. In high school, Bell earned First Team All-League honors and led her team to a second place finish in Regionals and a fourth place finish in state competition. She was also class Valedictorian and a National Merit Finalist. After just three weeks of practice with the Broncos, Bell posted a first mile time of 5:55 and a staggering three-mile time of 19:24.
"Robin is a strong runner and supportive teammate," sophomore teammate Natalia Lely said.
Bell is joined by freshmen Katie Hansen, who was named Athlete of the Year at El Toro High School, Katherine Heffernan, an All-Conference player, and Chrissie Moreno, captain of her team in 2000 and First Team All-State member.
Women's soccer received its share of top recruits as well. Ten freshmen joined the team for the 2001-02 season, and these are just the highlights: Taline Tahamsssian is currently a member of the U-19 National Team, was on the U-18 Team last year, and was also selected to the 2001 All-American Team for the Adidas Cup. Her prep career included 98 goals, 32 assists, honors as Gatorade and NSCAA Player of the Year, Parade Magazine Player of the Year, and Washington Post Player of the Year. Freshmen Jessica Ballweg and Leslie Osborne are also a members of the U-19 National Team, widely known for their determination teamwork and versatility on the field.
Women's volleyball also boasts four nationally ranked freshman additions to their 2001-2002 team. Toni Muratore, Jennifer Ryan, Megan Johnston, and Christina Vick were all included in Volleyball Magazine's Fab 50 Players. Muratore was named Central Conference MVP last year, and her high school teammate Ryan was the first at La Reina High School to reach 1,000 kills.
Across the board, the Bronco Class of 2005 represents all parts of the country and all styles of athletic talent. They are sure to contribute the pride, determination and team spirit that make our Bronco athetic tradition so unique.

text: Farmers are getting older. In the last census taken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 25 percent of farm operators were more than 65 years old. Neighbors and younger farmers would like to have their land. But for a variety of reasons, it's hard to convince an older farmer to give it up.

CLEMSON — The less-famous starting defensive end for Clemson likes it that way.
While Vic Beasley gobbles up the headlines with his nation-leading sack total and bursts into defensive player of the year conversations, Corey Crawford goes about his business in relative anonymity.
He's a quiet fellow, internalizing his emotions. Few know much about Crawford's daily determination to carry on from a burdening loss at the end of his freshman season.
Crawford's sister was surprised he opened up to an extent. His high school coach preferred not to say much about it, out of respect for Crawford. His Tigers' teammates are aware what happened, though they'll never know the depth of Crawford's pain.
"There's not a day that goes by I don't think about her," Crawford said. "Every now and again, I catch myself crying, because it hasn't really set yet that she's gone."
Crawford's mother was just 43 years old on Feb. 2, 2012, when she succumbed to Stage 3 breast cancer, survived by four children.
"He doesn't always say a whole lot, but he's very focused, a great leader on and off the field," said Kathleen Swinney, the wife of Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and a breast cancer survivor. "He just has my heart. He's a very sweet boy, and I can relate to what his family's going through.
"She was such a sweet spirit, and was so proud of Corey."
Alesia Davis was the quintessential hard-working single mom who did all things for her family. A claims auditor for BlueCross BlueShield in Columbus, Ga., she didn't let her job get in the way of her twice-daily routine.
Before her kids went to school, a hearty, healthy breakfast was on the table. When they got home, dinner was ready, and these were feasts only a woman whose dream it was to open a small catering business could cook up.
"Every now and again we ate fast food, but every night, she's gonna cook something big," Crawford said. His favorite meal was boneless neck bones, with rice and cabbage.
"When my teammates didn't have anything to eat, she'd always cooked enough. She used to say, you never know who's hungry, so my teammates would come over and get a plate. That's how she impacted people. As soon as one of my teammates would meet her, they'd click because of how genuine she was, so accepting of people."
Alesia always taught her children nothing was more important than family and faith, so it wasn't enough for them simply to sit in church. Everybody learned to sing in the choir — except Corey, who found out he couldn't carry a tune, so he started playing the drums at age 6.
He still does, playing in the praise band at Church FreeWay in Clemson run by the team's director of player personnel Jeff Davis. All thanks to his mom.
"She was the life of the party," said Tionna (Crawford) Harris, Corey's 23-year-old sister and Alesia's oldest child. "Whenever you're around her, she lifts your spirits, and has very contagious laughter."
Crawford's recollection of his mother was one that brings a smile to his face.
"Beautiful, inside and out. Don't play no games," Crawford said. "She really disciplined us when it time, but there was time for loving. She's just an amazing woman."
The strongest woman Tionna Harris has ever known would surely knock out cancer.
Diagnosed in the fall of 2009, Alesia Davis stubbornly continued life as normally as possible, cooking away and going to Corey's games his senior year at Carver (Ga.) High School.
When Crawford moved on to Hargrave Military Academy for one year, and then to Clemson, there was Alesia. Sure, there were days when Death Valley would be rocking, rooting on the eventual ACC champion Tigers, and Alesia's bones would ache and head would throb.
"But she just radiated," Kathleen Swinney said. "She was so proud to come, and be there and see her son play. It just warmed my heart to see her so happy that he was here at Clemson. Moms want to know that their children are doing OK."
When the Tigers made the Orange Bowl on Jan. 4, 2012, Alesia made the trip to Miami. Even South Beach gets chilly in the thick of winter, and she made frequent trips to the concourse away from her seat to collect herself. But she was there.
"She tried to make it for us being like nothing was wrong. It kind of eased us," Tionna said. "We weren't worrying as much, until she went into the hospital and then we felt out of control because there wasn't anything we could do to help her get better."
Two and a half years after first waging war on breast cancer (she was in remission for a year before it returned), and less than a month after watching her son wear football pads for the final time, Alesia Davis passed away. It took Crawford some time to cope with his new normal.
His first words to his sister after hearing the news together, as Tionna recalled?
"I don't know what I'm going to do. She was the person I was doing all of this for."
Eventually, Crawford made peace that his mom was in a better place.
And he found a new way to look at the situation.
"My mom was his motivator, and he just wanted to make her proud. But she was already so proud of her," Tionna said.
"Playing football, playing the drums at church, they've become an outlet for him. He allowed himself time to grieve, and he went on and continued to do the best he could because he knew my mom would want him to go on."
Like Crawford said, he thinks about his mom every day. She's been on his mind constantly this week as Clemson celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness, selling pink Tiger Paw pins to raise funds toward research and prevention via the Swinneys' All In Foundation.
"Coach Swinney told me God doesn't make any mistakes," Crawford said. "I just have to keep going, and keep making her proud. She's still here, not here physically, but spiritually she's still here."
Crawford has been named a team captain for the third-ranked Tigers' showdown against No. 5 Florida State. He's been a reliable bookend to Beasley, with 24 tackles (17 solo) and a team-high five pass breakups with his first career interception against Georgia, his home-state team.
"He's a very mature young man," Dabo Swinney said. "I'm really proud of Corey Crawford and the young man that he is and the type of leadership that he's providing."
Alesia Davis won't be in the stands Saturday. But she's a different kind of 12th man, her memory never fleeing No. 93.
"This game is going to be real emotional for me, real personal," Crawford said. "She was my No. 1 fan, and I still believe she is."

I was recently on 12/28/09 a passenger on Mexicana Airlines flight MX1692 from Buenos Aires - Mexico City then transfer to MX 908 to Los Angeles. My luggage was initially lost when I arrived in Los Angeles at my final destination. I filed a claim immediately for the lost luggage with Mexicana Airlines. My flight arrived on 12/28 at 10:30pm and I was informed my luggage did not make the flight and would be returned on the next flight that same night.
The following day on 12/29 I still did not receive any phone calls about my lost luggage as of 11am, so I called and after at least 10 times calling throughout the day I finally received my luggage at 9:00pm on 12/29. I inspected the luggage to find that it had been severely tampered with and many of my personal items were missing including several of my credit cards. I called my credit card companies and discovered during my transfer in Mexico city, someone stole my personal items and my credit card, tried to use over $10000.
Because that my credit cards were never out of my possession before taking this flight, it is clear that Mexicana Airlines staff is directly responsible for this fraudulent activity and deliberately held my bags to tamper with my personal belongings. I tried to file a complaint with Mexicana airlines but discovered that the ONLINE COMPLAINT FORM IS INOPERABLE. This further leads me to believe that Mexicana does not provide any means at all for actually filing complaints. I strongly believe that this airline is unlawfully operating its baggage screening process and there is significant concern for a security breach for all passengers of this airline.
I normally never likes to write reviews. But I wanted to take my time to let other passengers to know NOT TO TAKE MEXICANA AIRLINE because all the troubles is SO NOT WORTH IT!!!! Even now, I am stilling calling and trying to find out my personal item.
On August 28, 2010 as I was scheduled for my return flight from Cancun Mexico to Los Angeles USA at 4:30pm. I arrived at the airport in Cancun Mexico at 12:30pm and was told by a Mexicana employee at the counter all Mexicana flights after 12pm noon had been canceled. I was given paper instructions on how to proceed to request for a reimbursement and was advised to seek another airline for transportation as all Mexicana flights had been canceled and I would not be able to fly back through Mexicana. No other information was given except to proceed to a different airline as soon as possible and purchase an airline ticket to return to my destination.
I was basically left stranded at the airport in Cancun without a return flight. I stood in line for over 2 hours at the Aeromexico sales counter to request to purchase a ticket to return back home to Los Angeles. I was told all flights were full due to many Mexicana passengers whom flights were also canceled and had no choice but to fly through other airlines, including Aeromexico.
I was told by the Aeromexico agent there was only one flight with a few available seats scheduled to fly to Los Angeles on that day. The flight had two stops scheduled, one in Mexico City and the second stop in Guadalajara then it would proceed to Los Angeles. I was left with no other choice but to purchase a ticket for that flight as it was the only available flight to Los Angeles on Saturday, August 28, 2010. Total out of pocket expense $643.38.
I've seen several complaints on this site about Mexicana Airlines and have no idea what these people are talking about. I've been traveling frequently since I was about 2 years old and have a lot of experience with many different airlines. This has been the best and most consistent airline I've ever had the pleasure to travel with. They have the best service, the best food, and the friendliest employees. People who don't fly often freak out and don't know how flights really are.
If you were to travel and experience other airlines, then you'd realize how great Mexican really is. I've never had a bad or even a mediocre experience with them, but I've certainly had horrible experience with other airlines. People need to relax and learn how to travel without getting crazy. A flight is for transportation, not luxury. If you want luxury shell out the $5000 for first class.
Mexicana Airlines is a rip off scam of a company. After experiencing their horrible and deceitful customer service first hand, I can honestly say that it is no wonder that they are in bankruptcy. A warning to people who are currently booked with these fraudsters, this airline is shut down and no longer running any flights. They lie to you about having resources for booking you on other airlines, but they don't have anything. They do have a 90 to 120-day refund policy which is great because you might see your money back just in time for the NEXT vacation.
Don't let these idiots keep your money. Contact your credit card or debit card provider and request a charge back. Provide them proof of the lack of service and hopefully you will see your money back in your account within two weeks. Mexicana is trying to keep a hold of whatever money they can at this point and possibly not ever pay you back by protection of the bankruptcy system.
Concerning our returning flight from Mazatlan through Mexico City to Miami on Feb 14 2010. This flight was the worst flying experience ever. I commented to my wife that I didn't like the pilot's actions even as we taxied on the ground to the flight line in Mexico City. As we lifted out of Mexico City the plane banked hard left and right to the extreme, more than I've ever experienced in all the flying I've experienced. Most of the rest of the flight was uneventful until we with no warning began a rapid decent. Everyone in the plane had fear in their eyes; we all looked at each other as the plane kept descending at an alarming speed and rate.
The attendants with their food carts were struggling to keep them from sliding down the aisles. There were no lights visible outside the cabin to really get a reference on how fast or what angle we were flying at, but it was long and scary with no announcements. Finally the seat belt sign dinged and light indicating the pilot was if not in control, at least conscious.
We finally landed uneventfully and as we exited the plane the cockpit was locked, the flight personnel obviously didn't want customer feedback upon their exiting the plane. Was it pilot error, did they overshoot Miami? Was it an avoidance maneuver? Did this act actually save the lives of all the passengers? We'll never know, but Mexicana is on my List to stay away from. "Don't drink the water or fly their airlines." On a nicer note, their food is excellent. Perhaps they should be in the catering business.
I purchased airline tickets through Mexicana to travel to Mexico from the U.S. I paid $600 total. Due to personal reasons I was unable to travel on scheduled date so I called them to cancel. I asked the representative if I needed some kind of code or confirmation number so they can find me in the system and she said my name was enough to find me in the system. I was told my credit was good for one year.
Two months before the expiration of my credit I called Mexicana to reschedule. The representative was very rude, sarcastic, and when I asked her for help she replied by telling me that I should be smarter and get more information before calling, when I asked to speak to her supervisor she put me on hold forever!!! I called 4 different times and they all gave me attitude and was treated in a very unprofessional manner. I gave them my name, and all necessary info and they told me that it was still not enough to find me in the system???
How do they stay in business??? The 5th time I called, after being on hold for 30+ minutes, literally, the rep told me that she had found the flight but there was lots of people that were on that flight with the same last name. Does this make sense to anyone??? She put me on hold for another 5 minutes and after she answered laughing and gave me all the info I needed, I felt relieved. As I wondered why she was laughing she concluded with saying that my credit had expired 2 days ago. She hung up on me when I asked to speak to her supervisor.
I'm currently fighting for my money back from them through the Los Angeles county consumer's dept. Please avoid Mexicana airlines, when I traveled to Mexico I read magazine, newspaper articles that described horrible customer service through Mexicana airlines. People from Mexico also told be bad stories about them.
MEXICO CITY -- In February my aunt and I went to my parents' 50th wedding anniversary to the south most part of Mexico. On the way back we had a connecting flight in Mexico city. As the flight landed we were detained on the landing strip for 50 minutes and therefore we were late boarding the next flight, granted my aunt is on a wheelchair. As I approached the ticket counter to check-in I was told "too bad you are 9 minutes late, there is another flight tomorrow morning at 6 am and you BETTER be on time."
As I inquire about lodging was told in a sarcastic tone "there are PLENTY of hotels where you can stay it depends what you can afford." I can go ON and ON. PLEASE PLEASE avoid ANY dealings with a 3rd world airlines such as Mexicana... Crappy service and terrible customer service.

Governor Corbett Announces Plans to Implement Key Recommendations of Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission
Oct 03, 2011, 11:34 ET
Proposed Impact Fee Would Benefit Host Communities, Aid Public Protection
HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Tom Corbett today announced his plans to implement numerous recommendations of the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission, including changes to enhance environmental standards, an impact fee, and a plan to help move Pennsylvania toward energy independence.
"This natural resource will fuel our generating plants, heat our homes and power our state's economic engine for generations to come," Corbett said. "This growing industry will also provide new career opportunities that will give our children a reason to stay here in Pennsylvania. We are going to do this safely and we're going to do it right, because energy equals jobs."
As a result of the public Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission meetings, we now have a sensible and fair plan to put before the General Assembly, Corbett said.
The plan will make sure that Pennsylvania's economy benefits from developing this new source of wealth and energy independence, while also ensuring that the environment and natural beauty of this state are protected.
As a part of this proposal, Corbett announced a series of prudent standards related to unconventional drilling, including:
- Increasing the well setback distance from private water wells from the current 200 feet to 500 feet, and to 1,000 feet from public water systems;
- Increasing the setback distance for wells near streams, rivers, ponds and other bodies of water from 100 feet to 300 feet;
- Increasing well bonding from $2,000 up to $10,000;
- Increasing blanket well bonds from $25,000 up to $250,000;
- Expanding an unconventional gas operator's "presumed liability" for impairing water quality from 1,000 feet to 2,500 feet from a gas well, and extending the duration of presumed liability from 6 months after well completion to 12 months;
- Enabling DEP to take quicker action to revoke or withhold permits for operators who consistently violate rules;
- Doubling penalties for civil violations from $25,000 to $50,000; and
- Doubling daily penalties from $1,000 a day to $2,000 a day.
This plan will also allow for an impact fee, which will be adopted by counties for use by local communities experiencing the actual impacts of the drilling. The fee will be used by local governments, counties and state agencies that respond to issues that arise as a result of Marcellus Shale gas drilling.
"Estimates show that this impact fee will bring in about $120 million in the first year, climbing to nearly $200 million within six years," Corbett said. "As the number of wells grows, so will the revenue. Almost all of the money it brings in will go to benefit the places experiencing the impact."
Each well will be subject to a fee of up to $40,000 in the first year, $30,000 in the second year, $20,000 in the third year and $10,000 in the fourth through tenth years, adding up to a potential total of $160,000 per well.
Under this proposal, a county may provide for a fee credit of up to 30 percent if the driller makes approved investments in natural gas infrastructure, which include setting up natural gas fueling stations or natural gas public transit vehicles.
The impact fee revenues will be split with 75 percent being retained at the local level, with 36 percent of that number retained by the county, 37 percent distributed to municipalities that host the drilling pads and 27 percent distributed to all the municipalities within a Marcellus drilling impacted county. The distribution formula will be based on population and highway miles.
The remaining 25 percent of the fee would be divided, with 70 percent of that number going to PennDOT for road, bridge, rail and other transportation infrastructure maintenance and repair within counties hosting Marcellus natural gas development, 4.5 percent to the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for emergency response planning and training, and 3.75 percent to the Office of State Fire Commissioner for training programs for first responders and for specialized equipment necessary for emergency response.
In addition, 3.75 percent will go to the Department of Health for collecting and disseminating information, and for health care and citizen provider outreach and education, and for investigating health complaints and other activities associated with shale development, 7.5 percent to the Public Utility Commission to enhance pipeline safety and increase inspections, and 10.5 percent to a restricted account at the Department of Environmental Protection to be used for plugging abandoned and unused gas wells, plus other natural gas related regulation and enforcement.
Corbett said that under this plan, counties and municipalities may use these funds on various expenses related to impacts from natural gas development, including:
- Construction, repair and maintenance of roads, bridges and other public infrastructure;
- Water, storm water and sewer system construction and repair;
- Emergency response preparedness, training, equipment, responder recruitment;
- Preservation and reclamation of surface and subsurface water supplies;
- Records management, geographic information systems and information technology;
- Projects which increase the availability of affordable housing to low-income residents;
- Delivery of social services, including domestic relations, drug and alcohol treatment, job training and counseling;
- Offsetting increased judicial system costs, including training;
- Assistance to county conservation districts for inspection, oversight and enforcement of natural gas development; and
- County or municipal planning.
Corbett's proposal also seeks to help secure energy independence and reduce reliance on foreign oil by developing "Green Corridors" for natural gas vehicles with refueling stations at least every 50 miles and within two miles of key highways; by amending the PA Clean Vehicles Program to include "bi-fuel" vehicles (diesel and natural gas); by helping schools and mass transit systems to convert fleets to natural gas vehicles; by stabilizing electric prices by using natural gas for generating electricity; and by encouraging the development of markets for natural gas and natural gas byproducts, such as within the plastics and petrochemical industries.
The Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission issued 96 recommendations. About one-third require legislative changes; more than 50 are policy-oriented and can be accomplished within the state agencies.
The legislative priorities outlined today will be submitted to the legislative leadership in the near future. The governor has instructed the relevant Cabinet Secretaries to create implementation plans for the policy-oriented recommendations and to submit them to his office within 30 days.
Corbett made his announcement during a tour of the Carpenter's Training Center in Pittsburgh with Congressman Tim Murphy and Council of Carpenter's Executive Director Bill Waterkotte. During his visit the Governor spoke with representatives from a number of building trades about their efforts to ensure Pennsylvania workers are trained to fill the new jobs coming to the state from the natural gas industry.

Bread crumb "flat" towards bottom of loaf - is it my proofing or...?
I've been perplexed as to why my loaves sometimes bake with a almost flat crumb towards the bottom of the loaf. When I slice into the bread, a cross section shows a great crumb except the last 1/4 inch or so close to the bottom. That small area is almost "squished" down.
Could it be:
- how long I'm proofing the dough before I put it in the oven - is it over proofing or under proofing?
- the way I'm shaping the dough? I am shaping them freehand into boules
- something to do with the temperature of the oven?
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Northern Ireland's lake county is a haven for watersports. But you'll find Palladian mansions and pagan idols here, too
"As the locals will tell you, the lakes are in Fermanagh for six months of the year," chirps the Lonely Planet guidebook. "For the other six, Fermanagh is in the lakes."
So you see, Fermanagh may not have a coastline, but it certainly has plenty of water.
Whether it's boat tours of the Marble Arch Caves, or cruisers exploring the 500-mile network of rivers, canals and lakes in the Shannon-Erne navigation – the county boasts pretty much every class of inland water feature you can imagine.
If you're a fisherman, boat person or watersports enthusiast, the Fermanagh Lakelands are your Utopia. Think of canoeing or waterskiing on far-flung pleasure lakes. Think of pike or coarse angling on the Upper and Lower Lough Erne. Think of ditching the car and taking a waterbus from island to island on the Erne. Thoughts of the nine-to-five quickly become a distant memory.
A trip to the underworld
Fermanagh has its underbelly, too. A descent into the Marble Arch Caves Geopark begins with a subterranean boat ride and ends 650 million years back in time. The netherworld of chambers and passageways traverses Fermanagh and Cavan, and a visit sees one weird and wonderful calcite formation after another, including The Porridge Pot, Martel's Stalactite and the Crystal Palace.
What's a Geopark? An area recognised by UNESCO to have exceptional geological heritage, in a nutshell. But of course, you don't have to journey below ground to encounter exceptional geological heritage in Fermanagh. Climb to the top of the Magho Cliffs, the six-mile limestone escarpment overlooking Lough Erne, and you'll see what we mean.
Round, round, get around
Gifted with natural assets, Fermanagh gives bikers and hikers an abundance of choice. If you're on two feet, consider exploring the trails at Crom Estate, where you'll find wild deer and eight species of native bats in one of Ireland's most important nature conservations. If you're on two wheels, try a section of the 230-mile cross-border Kingfisher Trail.
And while you're at it, don't forget your history. As former US President Bill Clinton might tell you (he has roots in Roslea), there's lots to fascinate in Fermanagh's back-story. Check out the mysterious pagan idols at Lough Erne's Boa Island, the Round Tower on Devenish Island, or the Palladian mansions of Castle Coole and Florence Court.
Afterwards, you can zip back to the 21st century in the bustling county town of Enniskillen (incidentally, where Irish writers Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett went to school), or pick up some souvenir China at Belleek, Fermanagh's world-famous pottery center.
